A reader new to the series can dive into the Longmire world immediately and will likely want to go back and read all of its previous entries. <br>--<i>Deseret News <p/></i>Just a pure story that would be right at home being told around a campfire: immediately engaging, filled with turns and surprises, with an ending that comes too soon.--<i>The Gazette</i> <p/>Praise for <i>Dry Bones<br></i><br>Fast-paced [and] entertaining. --<i>The Denver Post</i> <p/>An especially good tale . . . If you are not familiar with Longmire, you might want to meet him. If you know him, don't miss his latest case. --<i>Charleston Post & Courier</i> <p/>"Yet another classic Craig Johnson mystery." --<i>Deseret News<br></i><br>The [Longmire] series continues to be fresh and innovative. . . . Devoted series fans won't feel a sense of déjà vu in <i>Dry Bones</i>, but they will easily identify Johnson's tendency toward innovative imagery . . . crack dialogue, humor and a strong sense of place. Absaroka's maker brings dem bones to life, and readers are sure to rejoice. --<i>Shelf Awareness</i> <p/>[Walt Longmire] remains tough, smart, honest, and capable of entertaining fans with another difficult, dangerous case. --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>[Longmire] never disappoints the reader: he's a hero through thick and thin. --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>Praise for Craig Johnson and the Walt Longmire Mystery Series <p/>It's the scenery--and the big guy standing in front of the scenery--that keeps us coming back to Craig Johnson's lean and leathery mysteries. --<i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>Johnson's hero only gets better--both at solving cases and at hooking readers--with age. --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>Like the greatest crime novelists, Johnson is a student of human nature. Walt Longmire is strong but fallible, a man whose devil-may-care stoicism masks a heightened sensitivity to the horrors he's witnessed. --<i>Los Angeles Times</i> <p/>Johnson's trademarks [are] great characters, witty banter, serious sleuthing, and a love of Wyoming bigger than a stack of derelict cars. --<i>The Boston Globe</i> <p/>The characters talk straight from the hip and the Wyoming landscape is its own kind of eloquence. --<i>The New York Times</i> <p/>[Walt Longmire] is an easy man to like. . . . Johnson evokes the rugged landscape with reverential prose, lending a heady atmosphere to his story. --<i>The Philadelphia Inquirer</i> <p/>Stepping into Walt's world is like slipping on a favorite pair of slippers, and it's where those slippers lead that provides a thrill. Johnson pens a series that should become a 'must' read, so curl up, get comfortable, and enjoy the ride. --<i>The Denver Post </i> <p/>Johnson's pacing is tight and his dialogue snaps. --<i>Entertainment Weekly</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Craig Johnson</b> is the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of the Longmire mysteries, the basis for the hit Netflix original series<i> Longmire</i>.
